The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has removed four more electronic logging devices from its list of registered ELDs, effective July 25, 2023.
All Truckers ELD, Golden ELD, PrimELD, and Secure ELD devices have been put on the Revoked Devices list due to failure to meet the minimum requirements established in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, appendix A.
FMCSA will send an industry email to let motor carriers know that all who use these revoked ELDs must take the following steps:
Motor carriers have up to 60 days to replace the revoked ELDs with compliant ELDs.
If the ELD providers correct all identified deficiencies, FMCSA will place the ELDs back on the list of registered devices and inform the industry and the field.
During this time, safety officials are encouraged not to cite drivers using these revoked ELDs for 395.8(a)(1) – “No record of duty status” or 395.22(a) – “Failing to use a registered ELD.”
During this time, safety officials should request the driver’s paper logs, logging software, or use the ELD display as a back-up method to review the hours-of-service data.
Beginning Sept. 23, 2023, motor carriers who continue to use the revoked devices listed above will be considered to be operating without an ELD.
FMCSA suggests safety officials who encounter a driver using a revoked device on or after that date should cite 395.8(a)(1), and place the driver out-of-service in accordance with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance OOS Criteria.
FMCSA strongly encourages motor carriers to take the actions listed above now to avoid compliance issues in the event that the deficiencies are not addressed in time.
Earlier this year, FMCSA also removed Nationwide ELD, TMS ELD One, All-Ways Track, and One Plus ELD, from the approved list.
